00:00This cross breeze and a bit of swing
00:03That is picked up
00:04And the boundaries here at Sophia Gardens are significantly bigger square than straight, but that has flown
00:12Anything that's slightly shorter for length and on this pitch
00:15It's not that quick and it just sits up to be a hit a lot of the modern batters
00:23Over short third
00:25That was wide chop chop lee trying to change the angle of attack is advisable
00:33Extreme power from short who is tucking in to reese topley here a swivel pull for six
00:44Top edge now everybody there is in the circle both short fine leg short
00:50So
00:53Travis head goes straight this time looking for that short straight boundary umpires will check it. So clearly
01:04Lovely he he really liked that the way that he
01:08Held the pose the full extension of the arms a lovely straight blade and the six is raining down here at sofia gardens
01:15Deal
01:19Well, he knew what was coming there travis said it's fantastic batting
01:23But it was telegraphed by the change in field deep midwicket deep square leg
01:30Going to be four into that gap between short fine leg and deep square
01:37Square
01:41Well, he's a bit unlucky saki mahmud and the thick edge that flies over short third man
01:50Cut away and with rashid and jordan cox up inside the circle. It's a profitable area
02:01Gone got him
02:03Adil rashid and bryden cast back into the england team back in the wickets and quickly
02:14Whack that won't work. That was a little too full. It was a little too floaty
02:20Sam caron under a little bit of pressure
02:23Shorter than that because square leg. Yeah, that's the plan
02:26And it just gets enough elevation
02:29The length was predictable because of the field that was set and he gets just enough of it
02:37Well this time he did go full there's no cover
02:40There is no cover for that delivery unless it's a cutter then it might bring in extra cover, but he's getting punished again
02:47So
02:55Well, this is a good start 66 for one one ball remaining in the power play
03:02Tossed up and punished and that is the one danger here
03:06You go too full you get punished
03:09Yeah, that's the one I was talking about quite had the fluency of the last
03:13Yeah
03:15Pressure building and when pressure builds and adil rashid has the ball in hand. There is a problem england at their second
03:25Power power from fraser mcgurk
03:37Not the middle of the bat and should be cut off
03:41Oh
03:43Excellent running so they pick up three nine coming from the over them with through ten
03:51Up is it long enough it is
03:56Bethel out there tries to scoop it back in he couldn't
04:04Clipped he wants to
04:06And he'll get to
04:0850 for jake fraser mcgurk in just 29 deliveries
04:14very talented young man
04:17Catch that that was a step it but straight to long on should be taken. Yes 50 and out for fraser mcgurk livingston
04:27into the wickets again
04:32High again same fielder again running in a bit more
04:36Taken identical dismissal livingston has his second
04:45Down the ground though, and that's always the danger here twice now adil rashid has floated the ball off
04:56A good end to the over england like it and the umpire does eventually
05:02Alex warf raises the finger
05:05So
05:10Okay, freeze it there take it back one frame there's a clear spike as the ball passes the bat
05:17Go back on field to alex alex you can stay with your decision standby
05:23Clear sound
05:25clear edge
05:26And tim david has to walk off. In fact, he began to walk off over for 14 so far
05:35Make that two for 14 a gentle hip height ball helped away to deep square leg
05:45High it goes
05:49And wouldn't you know it the next one is dispatched into the crowd
05:53Where the gentleman shows jamie overton just how it's done
06:01Excellent yorker from saqib mahmud
06:06Oh
06:09That was tremendously hit through the leg side
06:13Currently had the right idea there on the angle trying to bowl that slower ball
06:19Cameron green can't finish with a flourish
06:23But australia they'll be satisfied with that. They had a good start and a good finish
06:28England found a measure of control in the middle of the innings
06:32Catch
06:34Yeah immediately england and they're not going to let cooper connelly settle
06:37They know that they've got to get on with it in any case, but a young bowler playing his second game
06:45Gets this one away
06:47That open blade and he manages to get elevation through the onside first six of the innings
06:58And again
07:01And hit just as well
07:07Salt goes straight and this could well be into the river tap
07:14That is serious hitting six six six
07:21Salt helps it away leg side
07:24Oh well taken it went very high
07:27Jake fraser mcgirt just settled himself. That ball went a long way into the night sky and safely taken
07:36Hold him. This is a terrific start for sean abbott
07:40Wicked of will jacks with his first ball now. He's done for jordan cox
07:48Too high
07:50But it ends
07:53So
07:56Okay, there's a clear gap between bat and ball you go to ball tracking when available
08:04Original decisions not out
08:06It's pitching outside off alex. You can stay with your not out decision. You're on screen now
08:11ollie poke just sending a message to travis head by
08:15carrier pigeon
08:17Oh
08:19Gets it between those two men they're both up inside the circle
08:24And salt helps it behind square for four more
08:30Wow
08:32Well, he has produced some eye-catching moments in his 50 match t20 international career as liam livingston
08:39Has hit some of the biggest sixes we've seen
08:42From an england player and that's another beefy one into the leg side
08:48Liam livingston so often you see him now in this new role give himself a bit more time to get in gets lucky
09:00Walked away really nearly nearly a little bit better. He's under pressure and plenty of words coming his way now
09:10This is excellent
09:11Said before the understanding between these two they're backing up. Well if it's not going to be a boundary to the right hander
09:19He has a gut feel and that gut feel might just have worked
09:22Yes
09:23Gut feel from the skipper the standing skipper and matt shaw has done the rest
09:33Good
09:34Just that open face that we talk about it's a big slice on the ball
09:37Oh simple catch good outfielder sean abbott very very safe hands the captain goes
09:47He's always had power he's added a little uh deaf touch as well the little scoop the fall over scoop for four
09:58Scoops again, they've not changed the field. It really won't matter because it's gone seven rows back
10:04So
10:07Catch does go down the ground hitting with the spin. It is the perfect matchup for him
10:17Sounded good. It is another maximum for livingston
10:27And again six again 50 for liam livingston
10:33What a series he's having
10:38It's going to skid on it's going to hurry on for more pressure on australia
10:46Drags it
10:49Drags it before
10:52Yeah, finally a batter using his feet makes a huge difference unexpected adam zanther
10:59Goes again. He's not going to be thrilled with this shot
11:03He's a real talent this lad bethel. He's showing him
11:12Googly opens up the offside now bethel is on the charge
11:21Short pulled hard it's in the gap
11:24It's four again. Surely. Yes, it is right in front of the pod green thinks he stopped it
11:31I reckon he's just touched the cushion there
11:38Man out there the crowd think it's six the umpire agrees
11:46Yeah
11:47Oh, he's bowled him
11:49Going for the big reverse sweep eyeing up the boundary
11:53And a very full ball. So the gambler's paid off
11:57Obviously a premeditated shot from bethel just slides on underneath the bat just clips the outside of off stump
12:04So the part-time off spin of matt short
12:09Catch curran struggling here easily taken
12:16Cooper connelly had extra cover. What a change of bowling. This has been from travis had
12:21Used his feet gets down there. It's good same presentation from short. Yeah, it just turned away a little bit
12:29Never an easy catch looks like an easy catch running back. It's never that easy
12:33The youngster cooper connelly hangs on to one so short strikes again
12:40Livingston goes high and in the air
12:44Gets away with it
12:46Fairly certainly got his hands to that and put down what could be a critical opportunity
12:55Livingston goes and he stands and admires it as it goes out of the ground
13:08For it is livingston moves to 87
13:1187 england move level with australia one run away from victory
13:21Oh, no liam livingston
13:24It's been a magnificent innings
13:27But he would dearly have loved and it would have been fitting for him
13:31To have hit the winning run. He holds his head back. He hasn't quite taken england over the line
13:37He's got them to the finishing line. Somebody else will have to finish the job
13:42two on the leg side
13:44Got you
13:46Cast goes high. He's chipped this straight in the air
13:49And matt short has five
13:51Five for 21. It may not be enough
13:55Tempted cast with something a little bit slower
13:58Down he comes high on the bat. Nothing on it whatsoever
14:02Tim david running back simple catch
14:06I said try to finish it that over they've
14:12England scamper through and the huge cheers of this capacity crowd
14:17Here at sofia gardens tell you all you need to know
14:21That england have won this game. They've won it with a bit in the tank a bit to spare
